You should check your grub.conf and it should be something like default=0 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title RedHat Enterprise Linux ES 3 root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.21-32.EL ro root=/dev/Volume00/LogVol00 initrd /initrd-2.4.21-32.EL.img title RedHat Enterprise Linux ES 4 root (hd0,4) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-11.EL ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet initrd (hd0,4)/initrd-2.6.9-11.EL.img title Fedora Core 4 root (hd0,8) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.12-1.1390_FC4 ro root=/dev/VolGroup02/LogVol00 initrd (hd0,8)/initrd-2.6.12-1.1390_FC4.img title Fedora Core 4 - Embedded root (hd0,6) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 ro root=/dev/VolGroup01/LogVol00 initrd (hd0,6)/initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img Also be carefull while your are deciding hd0,0 issue cause when you get fdisk /dev/hda or /dev/sda you gonna see something like Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 10 80293+ 83 Linux /dev/hda2 11 265 2048287+ 8e Linux LVM /dev/hda3 266 330 522112+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda4 331 4870 36467550 5 Extended /dev/hda5 331 340 80293+ 83 Linux /dev/hda6 341 850 4096543+ 8e Linux LVM /dev/hda7 851 860 80293+ 83 Linux /dev/hda8 861 1115 2048256 8e Linux LVM /dev/hda9 1116 1125 80293+ 83 Linux /dev/hda10 1126 1890 6144831 8e Linux LVM hd0,8 means hda(your harddisk) and partition 9 because 0,0 is your boot partition on hda On the other hand you should be carefull if you use LVM, VolGroup ID's and LogVol ID's are important. In my grub.conf I collect whole kernel images in my hd0,0 partition and just ES 3.0 has a boot loader.
